Groups of singular alternating sign matrices
(International Linear Algebra Society, 2025-05-20)We investigate multiplicative groups consisting entirely of singular alternating sign matrices (ASMs) and present several constructions of such groups. It is shown that every finite group is isomorphic to a group of ... -
Weighted projections of alternating sign matrices: Latin-like squares and the ASM polytope
(Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2024-01-12)The weighted projection of an alternating sign matrix (ASM) was introduced by Brualdi and Dahl (2018) as a step towards characterising a generalisation of Latin squares they defined using alternating sign hypermatrices. ... -
Alternating signed bipartite graphs and difference-1 colourings
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)We investigate a class of 2-edge coloured bipartite graphs known as alternating signed bipartite graphs (ASBGs) that encode the information in alternating sign matrices. The central question is when a given bipartite ... -
Alternating sign hypermatrix decompositions of Latin-like squares
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)To any n × n Latin square L, we may associate a unique sequence of mutually orthogonal permutation matrices P = P_1, P_2, ..., P_n such that L = L(P ) = ∑ k_Pk . Brualdi and Dahl (2018) described a generalisation of a ... -
Alternating sign matrices of finite multiplicative order
(Elsevier, 2022-07-08)We investigate alternating sign matrices that are not permuta- tion matrices, but have finite order in a general linear group. We classify all such examples of the form P + T , where P is a permutation matrix and T has ... -

Musical setting creation for a Yeats poem: an autoethnography with the propeller model approach
(Ideas Forum International Academic and Scientific Association (IFIASA), 2025-05-16)Researchers and artists alike have their own unique challenges when it comes to engaging with their craft for the purposes of producing a final product. Both occupations hold their own respective identities when it comes ... -
“I feel I should put that work in”: discourses of effortfulness and essentialism among post-Brexit applicants for Irish citizenship
(Wiley, 2024-09-01)This article explores the post-Brexit increase in applications for Irish passports through descent, and in so doing, seeks to develop a social/political psychology of diasporic citizenship. It draws on a focus group and ... -
Listening to the experiences of students from refugee backgrounds in Irish post primary schools: implications for schools
(Irish Learning Support Association, 2024)This study sought to gain an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of refugee youth regarding their education in Ireland. By listening to the experiences of the young people, the study aimed to identify supportive ... -
Policy actors’ experiences of the decisionmaking processes in Irish primary educational policymaking 1990-2023: a continuum from a ‘cosy consensus’ to a ‘fight in the ditch’
